PECAN PIE BROWNIES



Pecan Pie Brownies image

A fudgy and decadent chocolate brownie topped with a sweet and crunchy layer of pecan pie is a match made in heaven. To ensure the layers stay distinct when these two classic desserts come together, the brownie is baked first then the nut filling is layered over it and baked again. In the oven, the syrup seeps into the brownies, keeping them moist and rich. Try serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Categories     dessert

Time 4h30m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick cooking spray
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso, optional
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon bourbon, optional
3 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • For the brownie layer: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. Spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla, salt, baking powder and espresso powder, if using. Beat on medium-low speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the sugar and stir until mostly dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the melted butter mixture to the bowl and mix on medium-low speed until the batter is smooth and shiny, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and carefully add the flour and chocolate chips, mixing until the flour is fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the brownie layer is cooked through, 32 to 34 minutes.
  • For the pecan layer: While the brownie layer is baking, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, salt, eggs and bourbon, if using, in a medium bowl until well combined and the sugar is dissolved. Add the pecans and stir until the nuts are completely coated.
  • Gently pour the pecan mixture over the baked brownie, using a spoon or small offset spatula to carefully spread all the way to the edges. Bake until the pecan pie layer is golden, set and no longer jiggly, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely, about 3 hours, before slicing into 9 squares.

PECAN PIE BROWNIES



Pecan Pie Brownies image

Topping a panful of brownie batter with honey-spiked pecan pie filling adds a gooey sweetness and crunch to the fudgy bars beneath. You can substitute any other nut for the pecans: Walnuts, almonds, pistachios, cashews or a combination will all work perfectly. This recipe calls for an 8-inch square pan, but, if you only have a 9-inch square pan, shave a few minutes off the baking time.

Time 1h15m

Yield 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), plus more for greasing the pan
4 ounces/115 grams unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped or broken up
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup/45 grams mini or regular chocolate chips (optional)
6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter (3/4 stick), melted
1/4 cup/60 milliliters honey
1/4 cup/55 grams light or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups/200 grams toasted pecan halves, coarsely chopped
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch square metal baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of excess on each side to help you lift the cooked brownies out of the pan.
  • Make the brownies: Put butter and chocolate into a medium pot and place it over low heat. Melt the mixture, taking care not to let the chocolate burn and stirring constantly with a rubber spatula until smooth. Scrape chocolate mixture into a large bowl and mix in the sugar. Let mixture cool until it's just warm to the touch, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk eggs into cooled chocolate mixture. Whisk in flour, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt. Mix in chocolate chips, if using. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Set aside.
  • Make the pecan layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together butter, honey, brown sugar, heavy cream and fine sea salt. Fold in pecans until well coated.
  • Pour pecan mixture in an even layer on top of the brownie batter. Sprinkle the top lightly with flaky sea salt. Bake until the top is set and firm to touch, especially in the center, 45 to 55 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Serve the brownies warm or at room temperature. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
